I have decided to update today, but please don't hate me. I've taken after uncle Rick.... Hope you guys like it and that this can hold you off until next Saturday, the 22nd, for that was the condition for updating today.

Will stepped out of the elevator and was shocked. Even though Olympus had taken his breath away, no matter how many times he looked at it, the designs that Annabeth planned just completed it.

"Woah."

Olympus had retained it's original Greek influence on the structures but Annabeth had managed to plan and decorate everything in a way that everything fitted. The plants that grew complemented the buildings that gleamed in all sorts of colours and the new palace of the gods stood out even more. Each part was coloured differently, probably to represent each of the gods that had a throne in there. Even an obsidian black was included for Hades.

Will looked at the others. Annabeth blushed. They were finally seeing what she'd spent a very long time on planning. Nico, piper and Jason all had smiles on their faces as they, like Will, took everything in. Percy was still confused but at least had a little interest that shone in his eyes.

They'd began walking up to the palace of the gods when they noticed that a old of the minor gods and some nymphs began watching them. Will felt himself blush a little and reached for Nico's hand, finding it quite easily, for he had done the same. They walked cautiously further into this land of mystery. There were many people who could easily kill them if they wanted to.

Before long, they'd arrived at the foot of the palace. Luckily Annabeth had designed it so that they people could easily walk up so they weren't out of breathe by the time they'd reached the gods. Even so, Will didn't know if Nico could do it. He'd been straining a little since they got here. Being his doctor, and his boyfriend was going to be a little hard. But Will was up for any challenge that he had to push past, if it meant he could help Nico; his sunshine.

"And that's all we know, Lord Zeus." Annabeth said, her voice full of confidence. In the last 20 minutes, herself and piper had explained all they knew of the prophecy and the warning.

"So, you think Khione is behind an attack on us gods?" Zeus laughed. "Isn't she one of Boreas' kids?" Hera spoke. Nico saw her as a very graceful woman, with long black hair, which reminded him of his mother. He imagined that she Hera may have taken the form of his mother, now that he was able to know about her and his past.

"She is, lady Hera. We encountered her on a journey whilst looking for yourself." Piper replied.

Nick looked down. He began playing with his ring again as he felt his father's eyes stare into him. He began to wonder how his dad might react. Forget him, what would the rest of the gods say? They'd always left out the children of Hades, and now one of his kids was getting it on with one of Zeus' 'technical' grandchildren, being as Apollo is Zeus' son. He saw Will turn to him. They'd decided to keep it from the gods for now, but Nico felt as though they already knew. Something about Aphrodite's smile that gave it away...

"But why would Khione want to attack the demigods?" Asked Apollo. He'd been watching Will and Nico closely over the past week and knew something was going on. He managed to turn and look at Piper and ask her that without Will noticing his staring. At least he and Aphrodite hadn't shouted OTP as soon as the demigods had walked in. That would've been hard to explain to his Father whom in question had an extreme lack in knowledge of 'Fangirling', let alone what a ship was.

"Probably because she's working for a larger, darker force." Annabeth replied. Suddenly, all eyes were in her. Even Aphrodite's. She continued, "well other than Gaia, who else may want to get rid of the gods. I apologise for what I'm about to say lord Zeus, and all other Olympians, but it seems as though you have all managed to acquire enemies over the years, other than each other. For example, how many other gods decided to join Kronos' forces during the war in Manhattan? I think that Khione had rallied up the forces who in question helped Kronos and has tried to persuade them to fight again."

"How long have you had this theory, my daughter?" Asked lady Athena. Annabeth looked up and her eyes shone with pride for she had called her her daughter.

"Not too long, lady Athena. I was thinking about it on the way here. Why would she try to start a war against us without an army? And what other way could she get an army other than like this?"

Nico and the other demigods were packed into the van once again. Argus gave the demigods a worrying glance. It looked weird coming from him since almost all eyes in the room are on you.

Will leant over and let his head rest on Nico's shoulder. Nico flinched at this, yet he left him there. He may not be a touchy feely person but when it comes to Will, he is fine. He saw Piper and Jason glanced back at them, smirking at the fact that they'd got together on their own.

They sat there for another twenty minutes as the bus rocked back and forth. No one spoke. It seemed that all the others had fallen asleep, Will was surprised because Nico had agreed to sleep for a while. He smiled as he saw how angelic he looked when he was asleep. His face was scrunched up as though he was having a bad dream, but that was normal for him. Will knew how Tartarus had affected Nico, Annabeth and Percy. But, for obvious reasons, Will cared more for Nico. He looked over the way he pouted in his sleep. He seemed like how a mix of Thanatos and Cupid themselves may look. He knew from the others' descriptions that they were alike in so many ways.


The van jolted once again and woke Nico. He yawned and stretched out his arms, hitting Will in the face. Will gave a soft chuckle. "Sorry," Nico spoke lazily. "I didn't mean to."

"It's fine," Will replied, still chuckling, "but I do need something to show you're sorry" Will finished with a playful smile.

Nico leaned over and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. Will's smile grew as Nico blushed. Clearly sleep had taken over his mind for a minute. He wouldn't have done that if it hadn't.


The others all laughed at each of their reactions. Nico and Will turned to see the rest of the demigods had been watching what happened and how they'd both reacted.

"Man, Will, you sure do speak loud don't you?" Jason managed to speak through his laughs.

"Encore!" Shouted Piper and Annabeth.


Will and Nico looked at each other and shrugged. What did they have to lose? They'd already seen what happened the first time. They both looked into each others eyes and smiled.

They both lent forwards and prepared to meet each other half way...
